MT8852B Overview
What is the MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set?
Building on the strengths of the MT8850/52A, the MT8852B is a complete Bluetooth test
solution that meets the requirements of testing Bluetooth enabled devices compliant with
the 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 (EDR) specifications.
Features of the MT8852B
•
Supports both standard and Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) measurements.
The MT8852B can be used to perform eight standard measurements and the six EDR
measurements defined in the Bluetooth EDR Radio layer test specification.
•
Three test modes
Standard mode in which the MT8852B uses full Test Mode signalling and all the
defined test controls to test the EUT in the fastest and most efficient way possible.
Single payload mode in which Test Mode signalling is performed in a very restricted
manner. The customer can define the packet length, packet payload, select loopback
or TX mode and hopping on or off.
Null packet mode enables measurements to be made on EUTs that do not have test
mode support, by performing a limited subset of measurements on packets without
payloads. None of these measurements are performed in accordance with the
Bluetooth test specifications.
•
Fast
Keep your production lines flowing with the rapid “Quick Test” measurement script.

February 2006
MT8852B Overview
•
One touch testing
Once the MT8852B has been configured, each device is tested with a single keystroke.
Press Run to initiate a link, activate Test Mode, perform all specified measurements
(standard and EDR), and output the results.
•
Authoritative
Under standard operation, tests are made exactly as defined in the Bluetooth RF Test
Specification. All measurements are traceable to National Standards so you can be
totally confident in both your production testing and design proving.
•
Reference Bluetooth transceiver
A custom design transceiver offers <1 kHz frequency accuracy at the start of any
packet and full compliance with the requirements for the “Dirty Transmitter” for true
receiver sensitivity measurements. In addition to the standard dirty transmitter table,
you can define customized stress conditions with user settable values of Carrier
Frequency Offset, Modulation Index, Symbol Timing Error and simulated carrier
frequency drift.
•
Remote control
Both GPIB and RS232 interfaces are offered as standard. Creating test programs has
been simplified by the ability to send single commands for initiating a test and
returning all results in a single string.
•
Small size and weight
MT8852B takes up minimal space in your test system thanks to its half rack size and
low weight.
•
Editable tests
Define your own test scripts to customize the test measurements to your specific
requirements. Each test can be enabled or disabled and within any test, parameters
such as hopping can be enabled or disabled, the number of measured packets
defined, and the specific frequencies of testing set up.
•
Ease of operation
The BT address can be acquired by entering it manually at the keyboard, by
performing an inquiry, or by means of an RS232 or USB HCI link. Once the EUT BT
address is known a Bluetooth link is established using Paging.
•
Field upgradeable
The Bluetooth protocol stack is held in FPGA so that future versions of the core
Bluetooth specification can be installed locally. The instruments main program is held
in flash memory so product enhancements are also field downloadable.
•
Audio testing
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set can be used to perform audio measurements by
establishing a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link between the MT8852B
and the EUT.
•
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) testing (option 15)
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set can be used to verify that EUT is correctly
identifying and blocking channels being used by an interfering signal.

Preparation for Shipment
1.
To provide maximum protection against damage in transit, the MT8852B should be
repackaged in the original shipping container. If this container is no longer available,
obtain a corrugated cardboard carton of suitable strength. To allow for cushioning
this carton should have inside dimensions of no less than 150 mm (six inches) larger
than the instrument dimensions.
2.
Wrap the instrument to protect the finish.
3.
Cushion the instrument on all sides by tightly packing dunnage or urethane foam
between the carton and the instrument. Provide at least three inches of dunnage on
all sides.
4.
Seal the carton using either shipping tape or an industrial stapler.
5.
If the instrument is being returned to Anritsu for service, mark the address of the
appropriate Anritsu service center (refer to the address at the back of this manual).
Power Requirements
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set is operated from AC line power. The MT8852B is
intended as an Installation (Overvoltage) Category II, Insulation Category I device.
At power-on, the instrument will perform a brief power-on self test (POST). If a POST
error occurs, information and available options will be displayed on the screen. If the
POST is successful, the instrument will then go to the top-level script or single test screen
that was active when it was powered down.
AC Line Power
The MT8852B can operate on AC input power of 85-264V, 47-63 Hz, 150 VA maximum.
The Test Set automatically configures itself for the voltage applied. An internal fuse
protects the AC line input.
Fuses
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set is protected on the AC input by an internally mounted
fuse. Only qualified service personnel should change this fuse. Replace only with a fuse of
the same type and rating, which is 5 mm x 20 mm, 250V, 2.5A T (T= time lag or slo-blo).
Grounding
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set must be properly grounded. Failure to ground the
instrument could be hazardous to operating personnel. The instrument is supplied with a
three-wire power cord.
The instrument is properly grounded when the plug is correctly installed in a grounded
receptacle. A grounding terminal is provided on the instrument rear panel.

Operating Environment Requirements
The MT8852B is designed to operate within the temperature range of 5 to 40° C with a
maximum humidity of 90% at 40° C, non-condensing. Full accuracy is specified at 5 to
35° C (23 to 95° F).
Although not recommended, operation in temperatures to –20°C is possible. At these
temperatures, however, the liquid crystal display may exhibit excessively slow response.
CAUTION
The instrument is cooled by a fan at the rear that circulates air
around the instrument through the vent holes in the base. The fan
and the vent holes should not be blocked.
Rack Mounting
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set can be ordered with rack mounting hardware that allows
the instrument to be mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. There are two rack
mount option kits available:
The MT8850A-01 Rack Mount option allows the installation of a single MT8852B in either
the left or right side rack position.
The MT8850A-03 Rack Mount option allows side-by-side mounting of two MT8852B Test
Sets.
Single Unit Rack Mounting (Option 01)
This section describes the assembly procedure for fitting a single MT8852B Bluetooth Test
Set into an instrument rack. The MT8852B universal top and bottom covers have
removable feet to allow the rack mount kit to be fitted. The procedure involves fitting the
support bracket, front plate, base panel, and a rear support bracket to the MT8852B. The
MT8852B can then be loaded and secured in the rack position.

Running a Single Test
13000-00205
February 2006
Getting Started
Running a Script in Standard Mode
In Standard mode, the MT8852B uses full Test Mode signalling and all the defined test
controls to test the EUT in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Standard mode is
the default mode setting, although it should be noted that for devices with only a limited
implementation of test mode functionality, operation in standard mode may result in the
EUT dropping the link or failing to respond to commands from the MT8852B. In this case,
select single payload or null packet operation.
Running a Script in Single Payload Mode
Single payload mode uses Test Mode signalling but in a very restricted manner. This is
ideal when the test device does not yet have a full Test Mode implemented, and the
repetitive signalling in standard mode may cause it to fail or drop the link. When the user
selects to run a script in single payload mode, a message to this effect displays on the
uppermost line of every page to remind the user that a mode other than standard is
currently selected.
In this mode, the user can define the packet length, packet payload, and set loopback or
TX mode and hopping to on or off. The MT8852B then sends a single test control to put
the EUT into the specified state, and no further test controls are sent. When the customer
views the measurement screens, only measurements that can be made on the selected
packets are presented.
If single payload mode is selected, an additional “single payload” line displays on the
screen.

Move the cursor to the script number and press [Setup].

Running a Script in Null Packets Mode
This mode is used to enable indicative measurements to be made on EUTs that have no
test mode support. In this mode the MT8852B does not use Test Mode signalling at all,
and makes only a limited subset of measurements on packets without payloads.
Measurements are not performed in accordance with the Bluetooth test specification.
When the user selects to run a script in null packets mode, a message to this effect
displays on the uppermost line of every page to remind the user that a mode other than
standard is currently selected.
The MT8852B can be made to link to an EUT and maintain the link by sending POLL
packets. In response to a POLL packet, the EUT will return a NULL packet. A NULL
Packet has no payload but can be used for power, initial frequency, drift, and modulation
measurements without having to activate test mode.

Setting Up Authentication
Authentication is the process of configuring a Bluetooth unit to connect only to one
specified device. A headset, for example, can be configured to connect only to a specific
mobile phone, and in this case, verification processing is used to ensure that the correct
connections have been established. The MT8852B can be configured to use
authentication during the establishment of a connection.
Note: The MT8852B does not use authentication by default.
The process of authentication involves creating a common key, referred to as the link key,
between the master and slave devices. Security could be compromised if this link key
were sent between devices, so instead, it is generated from a random number and a
Personal Identification Number (PIN) which can be entered into the MT8852B. If
authentication is required but the Bluetooth devices do not have a common link key, the
authentication procedure is completed using the PIN input, and a link key is then created
and stored during the authentication procedure. The link key stored in the Bluetooth
device can then be used during any future connection. Follow the procedure below to
configure the MT8852B to use authentication.

setting is 10 seconds and can be set between 1 and 40 seconds.
Setting Up the IF Bandwidth Filter
The user can select between two MT8852B receiver bandwidth filters. Selectable filters,
as defined by their 3 dB bandwidth, are 2 MHz and 1.3 MHz, although 1.3 MHz is the
default setting and the most commonly used. Both filters have a flat frequency response
from Fc +/- 550kHz. Both filters meet the requirements of the Bluetooth RF test
specification including errata 227. The narrower, 1.3MHz filter should be selected when
wanting to reject all EUT signals outside of a single Bluetooth channel.

Test control delay
The Test Control delay value can be set to any value between 0 and 100. When the
MT8852B sends a Test Control command (Loopback, TX or Test Pause) the EUT may
require a period of time to respond before it has actioned the Test Control. This time will
vary between differing Bluetooth developers implementations. Test control delay causes
the MT8852B to pause from measuring returned packets until the EUT has had time to
respond. The number entered is the number of transmitted packets from the MT8852B
that are ignored before measurements are started.
Test Pause

The Test Pause setting is defined in the Bluetooth specification to improve the
efficiency of device testing. If an EUT does not support test pause, use of test pause

EUT Settings on Connection
The two settings on the screen above that appear below test pause are set by default to
“ON” and should be left at this setting unless required as detailed below.
When the MT8852B connects with an EUT it is required by the specification that the power
be set to maximum. However, as it has been found that this requirement may pose a
problem for certain EUTs in development, it is now possible to set “Set EUT max pwr on
test” to “OFF”.
In a similar manner to the setting above, it is also possible to set “Read EUT name on
connection” to “OFF”. Under normal circumstances, the user-friendly name is read when
a connection is established. However, for certain EUTs still in development, this may
result in a dropped link, and for this reason it can be set to “OFF”.

explanation above.
2.
Position the cursor at the “edit” item directly beneath the table number and press the
key.
3.
An offset value can be specified for any or all of the 79 frequencies used. Press the
key on the keypad, and then enter the
“Frequency” soft key, press the
associated offset.
4.
When the “Enter” soft key is pressed the cursor is automatically positioned to allow
input of the offset value.
5.
Repeat this procedure until all of the required offsets have been specified.
All offsets specified are applied to the EUT transmitter power measurement, the EUT
receiver sensitivity measurement, and the receiver maximum input power measurement.
If, for example, an offset of 15 dB is specified, 15 dB is added to the measured EUT power,
and the MT8850A transmitter has 15 dB extra power transmitted to allow for the offset.

Testing in Standard Script Mode
Individual tests can be tailored to suit requirements. The setup procedures and limits are
described on the following pages:
Output Power Test (Standard Mode)
The output power test performs power measurements on the EUT transmitted packets in
one of four ways.
With “Hopping test mode” set to “Defined” the MT8852B measures power only when the
link hops to one of the frequencies defined on the LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH set up screen.
Although the measurements are only made at the defined frequencies, it is still a hopping
link. The number of packets measured at each frequency is set by the user in the “Number
of packets” field. This is the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification.
With “Hopping test mode” set to “All” the MT8852B measures the power at every one of
the 79 frequencies in the Bluetooth channel structure. The number of packets measured at
each frequency is set by the user in the “Number of packets” field.
With “Hopping test mode” set to “Any” the MT8852B measures the power at the next
frequency that the link hops to after the previous power measurement has been completed.
The total number of packets measured is set by the user in the “Number of packets” field.
This is typically the shortest of the three options as there is no requirement to measure a
large number of packets at specified frequencies.
The MT8852B can perform the test using either loopback test controls or TX test controls.
The default form for this test is to use loopback. The following test description is described
using the default test control.
The MT8852B transmits a pseudo random data payload (PRBS 9) of the longest
supported type (DH5, DH3 or DH1) or the selected packet type, to the EUT. The EUT
loops back the data at its maximum output power and the MT8852B measures the
received power. This default setting for this test to meet the requirements of the Bluetooth
specification 2.0 is hopping on, hopping test mode Defined. In this case the test is
performed while hopping, and the test is repeated until the requested number of packets
has been measured on each of the selected frequencies. The LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH
frequencies relate to the default frequencies specified in the Bluetooth RF test
specification. The MT8852B allows all these frequencies to be changed from their default
values.
It is also possible to run this test with hopping off. In this case, the frequencies tested are
those listed on the second setup page.

Power Control Test (Standard Mode)
The power control test performs power measurement cycles on the EUT output, if the EUT
supports power control, at each of the defined frequencies (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH).
This measurement is always performed with hopping off. The MT8852B can perform the
test using either loopback test control or TX test control. The default form for this test is to
use loopback. The following test is described using the default test control.
The MT8852B transmits a DH1 (or the operator selected packet type) packet with a
pseudo random data payload (PRBS 9). This test is performed with hopping off. The LOW,
MEDIUM and HIGH frequency sets relate to the default frequencies specified in the
Bluetooth RF test specification. The MT8852B allows all the frequencies to be changed.
A power measurement cycle sets the EUT output power to its maximum and then steps
the power down to the minimum power and then up to the maximum again one step at a
time. For each power step a number of data packets are sent to the EUT and looped back
to the MT8852B.
Note: When the test is performed in TX test mode only the TX frequency settings are
used since both RX and TX frequencies must be the same.

Initial Carrier Test (Standard Mode)
The initial carrier test performs a frequency accuracy test on a DH1 pseudo random data
packet. (PRBS 9) This test can be performed using either the loopback test control or the
TX test control. The default is to use the loopback test control. This test can be made with
either hopping on or off.
With hopping off, the MT8852B measures the initial carrier frequency error at the three
frequencies defined on the LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH set up screen. The number of
packets measured at each frequency is set by the user in the “Number of packets” field.
This is the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification for an initial
carrier frequency test with hopping off.
With hopping on, the MT8852B can make the measurement in one of three ways.
If “Hopping test mode” is set to “All”, the MT8852B will measure the initial carrier
frequency at every one of the 79 frequencies in the Bluetooth channel structure. The
number of packets measured at each frequency is set by the user in the “Number of
packets” field. This is the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification for
an initial carrier frequency test with hopping on.
If “Hopping test mode” is set to “Any” the MT8852B measures the power at the next
frequency that the link hops to after the previous initial carrier frequency measurement has
been completed. The total number of packets measured is set by the user in the “Number
of packets” field. This is typically the shortest option as there is no requirement to measure
a large number of packets at every frequency.
If hopping test mode is set to “Defined” the MT8852b will measure the initial carrier
frequency each time the EUT hops to the transmit frequency set up on page 2 until the
number of packets set under “Number of packets” at each of these three frequencies has
been measured.
When the measurement is made using TX mode the MT8852B sets up the EUT so that
when the EUT is polled it transmits a DH1 packet with a pseudo random payload for each
of the frequencies selected (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH). This test can be performed with
hopping off and on. The LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH frequencies relate to the default
frequencies specified in the Bluetooth RF test specification. The MT8852B allows all the
frequencies to be changed. When the test is performed in TX test mode EUT transmitter
and receiver frequencies must be the same.

Carrier Drift Test (Standard Mode)
The carrier drift test performs a frequency drift measurement over the length of the packet
received. The test can be carried out for each of the supported packet types with either
hopping on or hopping off. This test can be performed using either the loopback test
control or the TX test control. The default is to use the loopback test control.
In loopback mode with hopping off, the MT8852B sends DH1, DH3 and DH5 packets with
a 10101010.... payload at each of the frequencies selected (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH).
The EUT returns the DH1, DH3 or DH5 packet for measurement. The LOW, MEDIUM and
HIGH frequencies relate to the default frequencies specified in the Bluetooth RF test
specification. The number of packets of each length that are measured is set in the
“Number of packets” field. The MT8852B allows all the frequencies to be changed. This is
the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification for a carrier frequency
drift test with hopping off.
In loopback mode with hopping on, and “Hopping test mode” set to “All” the MT8852B
sends DH1, DH3 and DH5 packets with a 10101010 payload. The EUT returns the DH1,
DH3 or DH5 packet for measurement. The MT8852B will measure the carrier frequency
drift for each packet length at every one of the 79 frequencies in the Bluetooth channel
structure. The number of packets of each length that are measured is set in the “Number
of packets” field. This is the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification
for a carrier frequency drift test with hopping on.
In loopback mode with hopping on, and “Hopping test mode” set to “Any” the MT8852B
sends DH1, DH3 and DH5 packets with a 10101010 payload. The EUT returns the DH1,
DH3 or DH5 packet for measurement. The MT8852B will measure the carrier frequency
drift at the next frequency that the link hops to after the previous carrier frequency drift
measurement has been completed. The number of packets of each length that are
measured is set in the “Number of packets” field.
In loopback mode with hopping on, and “Hopping test mode” set to “Defined” the
MT8852B sends DH1, DH3 and DH5 packets with a 10101010 payload. The EUT returns
the DH1, DH3 or DH5 packet for measurement. The MT8852B will measure the carrier
frequency drift when the EUT transmits on one of the frequencies set on page 2. The
number of packets of each length that are measured is set in the “Number of packets” field.
In TX mode with hopping on or off the measurement process is the same as for loopback
except that the MT8852B does not send full DHX packets but just POLL packets. The EUT
has been configured by the MT8852B to respond to a POLL with the appropriate DHX
packet. The EUT must support TX mode part of the Test Mode specification for this to
work. The test time is much shorter when run using TX mode compared with loopback, as
the MT8852B does not have to send full packet lengths. When the test is performed in TX
test mode, EUT transmitter and receiver frequencies must be the same. TX mode
complies with the Bluetooth RF Test Specification for a carrier frequency drift test.

Single Slot Sensitivity Test (Standard Mode)
For a single slot sensitivity measurement the MT8852B transmits DH1 packets with a
pseudo random payload (PRBS 9) to the EUT at a minimum power level. If the dirty
transmitter parameters are applied, then every 20 ms the MT8852B changes the
transmitter parameters as specified in the dirty transmitter table for this test. The EUT
loops back the received data and a bit error rate (BER) calculation and frame error rate
(FER) calculation is performed by the MT8852B test set. The test is repeated for each of
the frequencies selected (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH). This test is performed with hopping
off. The LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH frequencies relate to the default frequencies specified
in the Bluetooth RF test specification. The MT8852B allows all the frequencies to be
changed. This is the test method described in the Bluetooth RF Test Specification for a
single slot sensitivity test with hopping off.
The MT8852B can also carry out this test with hopping on.

Modulation Index Test (Standard Mode)
This test measures the modulation characteristics on the EUT output for each of the
frequency ranges selected (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH). The MT8852B can perform the
test using either loopback test controls or TX test controls. The default form for this test is
to use loopback. The following test is described using the default test control.
The MT8852B transmits a number of packets containing the four ones four zeros payload
(11110000), which are looped back by the EUT. Then packets with the alternate ones and
zeros (101010101) payload are transmitted and are looped back by the EUT. These
packets are the longest supported packet type as reported by the EUT during link set up
(DH1, DH3 or DH5) or the selected packet type.
This test is performed with hopping off, and the test is repeated until the number of
packets has been measured on each of the selected frequencies as set in the “Number of
packets” field. The LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH frequencies relate to the default frequencies
specified in the Bluetooth RF test specification. The MT8852B allows all the frequencies to

Relative Tx Power Test (Standard Mode)
The EDR relative transmit power measurement ensures that the difference in average
transmit power during the frequency modulated [GFSK] and phase modulated [PSK] parts
of a packet is within the range specified below.
Pass criteria = (PGFSK - 4dB) < PDPSK < (PGFSK + 1dB)
The test can be performed using either Loopback or TX mode test controls with hopping
on or off. If the EUT supports both π/4DQPSK and 8DPSK modulation, then the test must
be performed on both modulation formats using the longest support packet type.
The test must be performed with the EUT transmitting at its maximum power, and if the
EUT supports power control, also at its minimum transmitter power level. The MT8852B
will set the EUT to the Max and Min transmit power automatically if the EUT reports that it
supports power control and both Max and Min have been selected in the “EUT power

Carrier & Modulation Test (Standard Mode)
This test verifies the transmitter carrier frequency stability and modulation accuracy. The
test comprises of both a frequency measurement and a Differential Error Vector
Magnitude (DEVM) measurement. The frequency measurements defined are:•
Initial frequency error of the packet header which is GFSK modulated - ωi (Pass
criteria ±75kHz)
•
Block frequency error during 50µs time blocks in the PSK modulated payload - ω0
(pass criteria ±10kHz) This frequency error is measured relative to the Initial
frequency error. The MT8852B continues to measure packets until the user
selected number of 50µs blocks has been tested, the default being 200 blocks.
•
It is also a requirement of the test that the sum of the above 2 tests (ωi + ω0) does
not exceed ±75kHz
The modulation measurements defined are;
•
RMS DEVM. This is the average DEVM for all the symbols in each 50µs block
measured. The result is calculated for each block, and each block must pass the
following criteria, ≤ 0.20 for all π/4DQPSK blocks and ≤ 0.13 for all 8DPSK blocks.
•
Peak DEVM. This is the DEVM value of the single symbol in all the blocks
measured that has the highest value. The pass criterion is ≤ 0.35 for all π/4DQPSK
symbols and ≤ 0.25 for all 8DPSK symbols.
•
99% DEVM. This is the percentage of symbols measured in all the blocks that pass
the following limit. The pass criterion is 99% of all symbols are ≤ 0.30 for all
π/4DQPSK symbols, and 99% of all symbols are ≤ 0.20 for all 8DPSK symbols.
The default criteria for this measurement is that the longest supported π/4DQPSK and the
longest support 8DPSK packets must both be tested in loopback mode with hopping off.

Carrier Drift Test (Single Payload Mode)
The carrier drift test performs a frequency drift measurement over the length of the packet
received. This test can be performed using either the loopback test control or the TX test
control. The default is to use the loopback test control.
In loopback mode with hopping off, the MT8852B sends a packet with a 10101010 and the
EUT returns packet for measurement.
In TX mode with hopping on or off, the measurement process is the same as for loopback
except that the MT8852B does not send full DHX packets but just POLL packets. The EUT
has been configured by the MT8852B to respond to a POLL with the appropriate DHX
packet. The EUT must support TX mode part of the Test Mode specification for this to
work. The test time is much shorter when run using TX mode compared with loopback, as
the MT8852B does not have to send full packet lengths. When the test is performed in TX
test mode, EUT transmitter and receiver frequencies must be the same. For this test, the
TX and RX frequencies are the same. TX mode complies with the Bluetooth RF Test

Init freq err
The initial frequency value (known as ωi) is the frequency error of the EDR
packet measured across the header part of the packet. The error value is
displayed as the difference between the ideal frequency for the measured
channel and the measured frequency over the header part of the packet. If
more than one packet is required for the measurement, the value displayed
is the greatest frequency error measured of all packets tested.
Freq err
The Frequency Error value (known as ωo) is the frequency difference
between the Initial Frequency Error, and the average frequency of a 50 µs
block of payload data. The MT8852B divides the payload data into 50 µs
blocks and packets are looped back until 200 blocks have been measured.
The value displayed is the greatest difference measured between any single
50 µs payload block and the Initial Frequency error for the same packet.
Block freq err
The block frequency Error (ωi + ωo) is the difference in frequency between
any single 50 µs payload block, and the header for the same packet. The
MT8852B displays the greatest block frequency error for all the 200 blocks
measured. As the block frequency error requires that each block is
measured relative to the header from the same packet, it is possible that,
when more than one packet is required to achieve the 200 measurement
blocks, that the result for (ωi + ωo) is NOT equal to the sum of the displayed
values of ωi and ωo.
RMS DEVM
The MT8852B measures the RMS DEVM of 200 blocks of payload data,
each block being 50 µs long. The displayed value of RMS DEVM is the
greatest value as calculated for each of the 200 blocks individually.

An explanation of how the MT8852B can be used to perform
audio measurements by establishing a SCO link between the
MT8852B and the EUT.
9-1
Audio Measurements
Audio Measurements
The MT8852B Bluetooth Test Set can be used to perform audio measurements by
establishing a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link between the MT8852B and
the EUT. A SCO link is a full duplex link between a Bluetooth master and slave.
Note:
It should be noted that SCO is an optional feature within the Bluetooth
specification. The MT8852B can be used to establish a SCO link and transmit
HV packets to, or from, the EUT. To perform audio measurements, an audio
signal source and audio analyzer are also required (e.g., Keithley 2015).
There are four basic scenarios in which audio measurements may be made, each of which
is illustrated and explained in this chapter. The four test scenarios are:
•
Testing the EUT’s audio performance using remote loopback on the MT8852B.
•
Testing the audio performance of the EUT transmit path.
•
Testing the audio performance of the EUT receive path.
•
Putting the EUT into remote loopback.
Testing the EUT’s Audio Performance Using Remote
Loopback on the MT8852B
The EUTs audio performance can be tested using the set-up below. The MT8852B is put
into remote loopback and the audio path tested without passing the signal through the
MT8852B CODEC. The audio is looped back in the MT8852B baseband and so there is
no audio distortion introduced by the tester.

Move the cursor to “ACL Connect status” and press the
key to establish an
ACL connection. When the ACL connection has been established, the square
indicator at the right of this item becomes solid and, if the EUT supports SCO, the
indicators on the “SCO channel status” line change to clear squares to reflect this.

Note:
No settings are required on this screen if the EUT address source is not set
to RS232 or USB. Skip to step 6 in this procedure if you are not initialising
the EUT using the MT8852B “EUT Control” interface.
Input coding format:
Select the EUT baseband sample input/output data
format. There are three possible settings, “Linear”, “ALaw”, and “u-Law”.
Input data format:
Select the EUT baseband sample data format. There are
three possible settings, “1's”, “2's”, and “sign magnitude”.
Input sample size:
Select either an 8 or 16 bit baseband sample size.
Linear PCM bit Posn:
Set the EUT Baseband sample offset within the 16 bit
field. Specify a value within the range of 0 to 7.
Note:
When these settings are complete it will not be necessary to repeat this
procedure until the EUT is changed.

Press [3 of 3] to return to page 1 and press the [TX power] soft key.
8.
Enter the “TX power level” value using the keypad. The audio power level can be set
to between 0 and -90 dBm.
Note: An ACL connection must be made before an SCO link can be established. When
a device makes an ACL connection, it reports within its “Supported Features” response
whether or not it supports SCO connections, and if so, which HV packet types it can
support. Do not establish a SCO connection at this stage.

Putting the EUT into Remote Loopback
It is also possible to put the EUT into remote loopback. The MT8852B will then send and
receive SCO packets from the EUT. The packets will be looped back digitally in the EUT
baseband and so will not introduce any distortion from the analogue circuits.
As with the set-up for testing the performance of the receiver, it is also possible to use an
internally generated 1 kHz tone. Use of this tone is ideal for quick tests and as it is
generated internally, it does not pass through the MT8852B CODEC. The tone is fixed at
1kHz. For measurements at other frequencies use of external audio is required.
•
Note:
Refer to the jack plug diagram on the previous page.
•
Follow the procedure for “Testing the EUTs Audio Performance” and use the HCI
software on the control PC to set the EUT to remoter loopback. SCO loopback for
the MT8852B should be set to “OFF” (step 8 in the procedure).

The Bluetooth 1.2 Specification
The 1.2 specification adopted by the Special Interest Group in November 2003 has two
mandatory new features; faster connection and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH). All
other new features are optional.
•
Faster connection
This is purely a change to the function of the EUT. Any developer that implements
faster connection will see shorter connection times to a standard MT8852B.
•
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
AFH is a method used to improve the transmission quality within the highly
frequented ISM band. It is used to prevent hopping to channels that are currently
being used by an interfering 802.11b radio.
The 1.2 specification does not include higher data rate radios, and the RF test
specification itself has remained unchanged from the 1.1 specification. AFH capabilities
have been added as an option to the MT8852B to enable testing and verification of a
device’s performance in the presence of interfering signals. Further details of AFH and
how it has been implemented are provided in this chapter.
Overview of Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
When two Bluetooth devices connect under normal circumstances, they establish a basic
frequency hopping scheme across the 79 frequency channels in the 2.4 GHz ISM band,
hopping at a rate of 1600 times per second. However, as is becoming increasingly
common, interference may be encountered in environments where other wireless
technologies, such as wireless LAN or DECT, are also in use in the same radio band.
Blocked channels, caused by interference, result in a deterioration in the performance of
the connection and this in turn is manifested in poor voice quality or reduced data transfer
rates.
To limit the impact of this interference, an adaptation on frequency hopping, known as
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) was introduced by the Bluetooth Special Interest
Group in the 1.2 Bluetooth specification. AFH aims to restore the performance of a
Bluetooth connection by identifying channels with high error rates and excluding the use of
these channels thereafter.

The figure below shows an example of Bluetooth packets being blocked by WLAN
transmission within the same radio band.
When AFH is enabled, the channels in use by WLAN are excluded and the Bluetooth
packets are restricted to other channels where there is little probability of interference.

AFH Processing
As illustrated above, AFH allows Bluetooth devices to adapt to the environment by
identifying sources of interference and then omitting them from the list of channels
available for use.
To use AFH on a connection, both master and slave devices must support the feature,
and the master selects whether or not to enable its use. When enabled, the master device
generates a channel map to inform the slave device which of the 79 channels are
available for use and which have been excluded.
The channel map is generated based on information from any or all of the following three
sources.
•
Channel classification sent over the HCI from the Host Controller. This would be
applicable in the case of a PC supporting both Bluetooth and WLAN.
•
The results of monitoring in the master device to build up a picture of which channels
are experiencing interference problems. This information is referred to as the
master’s local assessment scheme (MLAS).
•
The results of monitoring in the slave device to build up a picture of which channels
are experiencing interference problems. This information is referred to as the slave’s
local assessment scheme (SLAS) and is relayed back to the master in channel
classification reports.
Channel map generation is illustrated in the figure below.
The channel map can be modified by the master device at any time during the life of a
connection and is adopted immediately upon transmission to the slave.
In addition to the channel map, AFH also requires that Bluetooth devices communicate
using the Same Channel Mechanism whereby, instead of changing frequency with each
transmit and receive slot, the frequency is only changed after each complete transmit and
receive cycle.

AFH in the Bluetooth 1.2 Specification
The Bluetooth Specification states that the master device creates the AFH Channel Map
from any of the three sources identified above, but it does not dictate the method of
channel assessment that should be used to identify the good and bad channels. Two
common methods for making this judgement are Received Signal Strength Indication
(RSSI), and Packet Error Rate (PER).
The following changes have been made to the 1.2 specification to enable the use of AFH.
•
•
New messages have been added to the Link Manager Protocol to enable
communication of the channels that can be used and the channels that have been
blocked.
Commands have been added to the Host Controller Interface to allow the blocking of
“known bad” channels and to allow the host to obtain the channel map currently in
use.
MT8852B Implementation of AFH
Adaptive frequency hopping is not enabled automatically when the MT8852B connects to
a slave device that also supports AFH. The Host Controller must send explicit commands
to enable or disable AFH operation.
The MT8852B has no algorithms for identifying the usability of channels, and as a result
does not generate a “local assessment scheme”. Instead, commands at the user interface
can be used to block channels in the creation of a “pseudo local assessment map”. The
resultant active channel map is the logical OR of this pseudo local assessment map and
the slave’s local assessment scheme (if the user enables use of this data). This is shown
in the figure below.
The Host Controller may change the AFH Channel Map at any time by sending an HCI
command to the Bluetooth Controller. If there is an active connection that has AFH
enabled, the new AFH Channel Map is adopted immediately. At other times the AFH
Channel Map is stored in the Bluetooth Controller and used when AFH is next enabled.

The MT8852B gives the user three methods of verifying that AFH is functioning correctly:
•
From Channel Use vs Time Information
•
From FER vs Time Information
•
From AFH from audio measurements
Note:
The majority of EUTs are not able to update the AFH local assessment when
being operated in test mode.

As mentioned in the previous section, the channel map is compiled from information
from the MT8852B pseudo local assessment map and the EUT’s local assessment
scheme. Use of the latter is controlled by setting “EUT Reporting” to “On” or “Off”. If
set to “On”, the EUT’s local assessment scheme is used, and the rate at which the
assessment is transmitted to the MT8852B is controlled by the setting at “EUT Rep.
Rate”. Enter a rate of between 1 and 30 seconds.
8.
Select “TX Level” and enter the power level at which the MT8852B will transmit all
packets whilst in AFH mode.
Note:
The Bluetooth specification does not define how an EUT shall determine if a
channel should be assessed as good or bad. Each chip set developer has
implemented a unique channel assessment solution. The MT8852B displays the
channel assessment map that a specific EUT has reported as a result of the
continuous Poll/Null connection that exists between the MT8852B and the EUT.
Assessing AFH from Channel Use vs Time Information
Using this method the user can either edit the MT8852B’s pseudo local assessment to
simulate interference by blocking specific channels, or turn on an interference source and
monitor the channels that are blocked automatically. The performance of the EUT can
then be validated using the EUT’s support software and the graph of channel use over
time displayed by the MT8852B.

Assessing AFH from FER vs Time Information
Using this method the user activates an interference source into the EUT in order to
validate that the EUT can recognize the channels that should be blocked. The
performance of the EUT can be monitored at the MT8852B by confirming that the frame
error rate shown on the graph drops as the channels in the channel plan to the right are
blocked as required. FER is measured by counting the number of Null packets returned
by the EUT as a result of the number of transmitted Poll packets. The FER measurement
runs at a 1 second interval, and the FER measurement is always made on 800 transmitted
packets.

Confirm that the graph of FER over time drops down to zero as channels are
systematically identified and blocked by the EUT.
Note: When displaying Channel use vs Time and FER vs Time, the MT8852B is sending
Poll packets to the EUT in each transmit slots (800 polls a second).
10-8
13000-00205
February 2006
Note: If an EUT continues to Inquiry scan and Page scan, following the establishment of
a basic ACL connection, the MT8852B will measure a residual FER of around 2 to 4 %
that exists, even on a good connection, due to management packets. It is advisable to
disable Inquiry and Page scanning on the EUT while running FER vs time measurements.
Note: The decisions made in the EUT regarding which channels are good or bad, will
vary significantly depending on the relative level of the interfering source and the
MT8852B set power level. If the interfering source is connected directly to the EUT and
the interfering power level exceeds -20dBm, this may saturate the EUT receiver and
cause it to fail. The Bluetooth specification for receiver maximum input power is -20dBm.

The IQ data output software provides users with a means of capturing and viewing
received packets without using protocol or making a connection. This option is useful for
more detailed analysis of the transmitter performance of EDR chips and products. All
three of the EDR transmitter measurements specified in the Bluetooth 2.0 specification
can be performed.
The software :•
Performs all measurements from a simple user interface with no signaling required.
•
Performs all three EDR transmitter test cases (relative transmit power, carrier
frequency stability, differential phase encoding).
•
Allows the user to print and save the results of measurement.
•
Supports 2-DH1, 2-DH3, 2-DH5, 3-DH1, 3-DH3, and 3-DH5 packets.
Note: It is not necessary to purchase option 17 in order to run EDR measurements on the
standard MT8852B.
The [Anritsu Bluetooth EDR transmitter test software] window is divided into a number of
panes. The measurement settings are made at the left side of the window and the results
of measurement display to the right. The settings are described sequentially in this
section.

EDR Measurements
Relative Transmit Power (TP/TRM/CA/10C)
This test ensures that the difference in average transmit power during the frequency
modulated [GFSK] and phase modulated [DPSK] parts of a packet is within the range
specified below.
Pass criteria = (PGFSK - 4dB) < PDPSK < (PGFSK + 1dB)
Carrier Frequency Stability (TP/TRM/CA/11C)
This test verifies the transmitter carrier frequency stability and modulation accuracy. The
measurement results must fulfill the following conditions.
Average frequency error of the GFSK portion of the EDR packet - ωi (Pass criteria
±75kHz)
Average frequency error of each payload block - ω0 (Pass criteria ±10kHz)
Modulation Accuracy
In this measurement, the payload is divided into blocks of 50 µs and the DEVM is
measured for each symbol in the block. The pass criteria for this test are as follows.
RMS DEVM ≤ 0.20 for all π/4-DQPSK blocks
RMS DEVM ≤ 0.13 for all 8DPSK blocks
Peak DEVM ≤ 0.35 for all π/4-DQPSK symbols
Peak DEVM ≤ 0.25 for all 8DPSK symbols
99% DEVM ≤ 0.30 for 99% of π/4-DQPSK symbols
99% DEVM ≤ 0.20 for 99% of 8DPSK symbols
Differential Phase Encoding (TP/TRM/CA/12C)
In this measurement the EUT transmits a packet with a defined PRBS9 payload. The
payload of the received packet is demodulated and compared with the defined ideal
packet to give a resultant symbol error rate. The Bluetooth 2.0 specification stipulates that
zero errors are detected in 99% of 100 packets transmitted.
Guard Interval
The guard time is defined as the period starting at the end of the last GFSK symbol of the
header and ending at the start of the reference symbol of the synchronization sequence.
The length of the guard time must be between 4.75 µs and 5.25 µs.
Saving Results
The results of measurement can be saved to a text file or printed in the style shown below.

February 2006
This can be an internal or operator error
The cause of operator error, as the name implies, is an incorrect
operation of the MT8852B, during setup/running of a test e.g. setup of
out-of-range limit value for the pass/fail test criteria, results in the
message “ >Error!< out of range value”
This warns you of:
Abnormal condition such as:
“Warning: over temperature”.
Non-standard set up of an instrument such as:
Null Packets. The icon “!“ indicates this condition
Conditions outside the control of MT8852B such as:
“Warning: EUT via RF (0x%x)”
This provides you with helpful information where relevant. For
example,
EUT (equipment under test) address mode: if the manual mode is
selected following the auto, the unit disconnects from the EUT and the
following message is displayed:
“EUT disconnected”
The safety here refers to the MT8852B safety such as:
“ SYSTEM SHUTTING DOWN"
" INTERNAL TEMPERATURE EXCEEDED"

Appendix G. Connector Care and Handling
Follow the precautions listed below when handling or connecting cables. Complying with
these precautions will guarantee longer component life and less equipment down time due
to connector or device failure. Also, such compliance will ensure that
Beware of destructive pin depth mating connectors
Destructive pin depth of mating connectors is the major cause of failure in the field. When
an RF component is mated with a connector having a destructive pin depth, damage will
usually occur to the RF component connector. A destructive pin depth is one that is too
long in respect to the reference plane of the connector (see figure below).
N connector pin depth definition
The center pin of a precision RF component connector has a precision tolerance. The
mating connectors of various RF components may not be precision types.
Consequently, the center pins of these devices may not have the proper pin depth.
The pin depth of DUT connectors should be measured to assure compatibility before
attempting to mate them with Power Sensor connectors. An Anritsu Pin Depth Gauge
or equivalent can be used for this purpose.
Pin depth gauge
If the measured connector is out of tolerance in the "+" region, the center pin is too
long (see Allowable DUT connector pin depth table below). Mating under this
condition will likely damage the precision RF component connector. If the test device
connector measures out of tolerance in the "-" region, the center pin is too short. This
should not cause damage, but it will result in a poor connection and a consequent
degradation in performance.

Avoid over torquing connectors
Over torquing connectors is destructive; it may damage the connector center pin. Fingertight is usually sufficient for Type N connectors. Always use a connector torque wrench (8
inch-pounds) when tightening WSMA, K or V type connectors. Never use pliers to tighten
connectors.
Avoid mechanical shock
Precision connectors are designed to withstand years of normal bench handling. However,
do not drop or otherwise treat them roughly. Mechanical shock will significantly reduce
their service life.
Do not disturb Teflon tuning washers on connector center pins
The center conductor on many RF component connectors contains a small Teflon washer
that is located near the point of mating. This washer compensates for minor impedance
discontinuities at the interface. Do not disturb this washer. The location of the washer is
critical to the performance of the RF component.
Cleaning connectors
The precise geometry that makes possible the RF component's high performance can
easily be disturbed by dirt and other contamination adhering to the connector interfaces.
When not in use, keep the connectors covered.
To clean the connector interfaces, use a clean cotton swab that has been dampened with
denatured alcohol.
Note: Most cotton swabs are too large to fit in the smaller connector types. In these cases,
it is necessary to peel off most of the cotton and then twist the remaining cotton tight. Be
sure that the remaining cotton does not get stuck in the connector. Cotton swabs of the
appropriate size can be purchased through a medical laboratory-type supply center.
The following are some important tips on cleaning connectors:
•
Use only denatured alcohol as a cleaning solvent
•
Do not use excessive amounts of alcohol as prolonged drying of the connector may be
required
•
Never put lateral pressure on the center pin of the connector
•
If installed, do not disturb the Teflon washer on the center conductor pin
•
Verify that no cotton or other foreign material remains in the connector after cleaning it
•
If available, use compressed air to remove foreign particles and to dry the connector
•
After cleaning, verify that the center pin has not been bent or damaged.
